Patient's question:
My son, who is one and a half years old, was found to have a few small red spots on his hands and feet on the 18th. After being diagnosed by a doctor, it was confirmed to be hand, foot, and mouth disease. After receiving two days of intravenous drips, his symptoms improved. He was then given Pu'di Lan to eat, and by the 23rd, the red spots on his hands and feet had disappeared. However, he developed a fever of 38.5°C at night. Starting on the 24th, he began coughing and went to the hospital for a check-up, where it was found that he had inflammation in his lungs.Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your description, you have been using anti-inflammatory drugs and antiviral medications. It is important to maintain adequate fluid intake and provide a liquid diet such as breast milk, cow's milk, rice soup, vegetable broth, juice, etc. Vitamin C, A, D, and complex B vitamins can also be supplemented. Calcium should be supplemented at the same time. For those with a longer course of illness, it is important to pay attention to nutritional support to prevent malnutrition. There are many causes of hand, foot, and mouth disease. If a child is diagnosed with hand, foot, and mouth disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
